Prototype Open Week 2 Recap. 

The second week of the 2024 Prototype Open was intense, with a challenging cardio based workout consisting of rowing, deadlifts and double unders in a 20 minute AMRAP. Despite the difficulty our competitors went after it and pushed their mind and body to their limits. 

During the second week athletes also competed in Challenge 24.2! The challenge was holding a handstand for the longest amount of time as possible. At the end the top 3 finishers for men and woman earned 5 points for their team!

The top finishers (male and female) for challenge 24.2 were Tim Welch, Brendan Sheehan, Griffin Barriere, Coreen Williamson, Gillian Barry, and Jess Clancy! Team Yellow gaining those top points with that girl power! Coreen with an unbelievable time of 3 minutes!

After challenge 24.2 and WOD 24.2 the points were scored as follows: top finishers for the RX and scaled categories each earned 5 points for their team. Everyone who completed the WOD earned 1 point. Everyone who completed the challenge earned 1 point. Top 3 finishers for the challenge earned 5 points each. Winners of our head to head challenge also won 5 points for their team.

WOD 24.2 was a 20 minute AMRAP of a 300m row, 10 deadlifts, and 50 double unders.

On Friday night we had our second head to head competition of this years Open. It was battle of the coaches with Michelle Lamb subbing in for Tommy Flynn while he was away. Abhi Das, Melanie Rivera, Asmahan Olivia and Michelle Lamb took on 24.2 to earn points for their team. It was a close one but at the end Abhi took home first place, with Michelle coming in second. The whole time Melanie and Asmahan were neck and neck but with seconds to spare Asmahan got in just one more rep and took third place.

At the end of the night there was tears shed, lots of sweat and a very much needed drink after completing the workout. Some athletes achieved personal bests, and others surprised themselves with how much they were able to accomplish. Regardless of the score everyone left feeling proud of themselves for completing the workout when it never seemed to end and grateful for the community that we have built who kept us going when we wanted to quit.

Just like last week this week we selected our award winners for passion, spirit, top performance, and hard worker. Passion award was given to Dan McCarthy, Spirit went to Bath Varner, Top Performer went to Coreen Williamson, and Hard Worker went to Sandy Brock! Dan is always in the gym cheering everyone on regardless of what team they’re in. Beth has brought the spirit with her green attire, bringing in drinks and snacks for everyone to enjoy and even helping out her captain putting scores in when needed. Coreen had an amazing performance with 24.2 challenge holding the handstand for 3 minutes! And Sandy has come to open gym every Sunday to complete the workout AGAIN to try and get a better score for herself!

Sharang is a standout part of the Prototype community—steady, positive, and always putting in the work—and his commitment to consistency, camaraderie, and long-term progress makes him a perfect example of what PTS is all about. Below he answers some questions and shares his experience. Share your experience at Prototype—favorite memories, moments, or stories or what’s your favorite part/what do you look forward to? What stands out most about Prototype is the camaraderie. The members, especially in the 7AM and Noon classes, create a great balance of fun and focus. Everyone is friendly and supportive, but when it’s time to work, people take the WODs seriously and push themselves to improve. That combination can be hard to find. All the coaches play a huge role in setting that tone. My favorite moments are the everyday ones i.e. showing up, putting in the work together, leaving class feeling accomplished. What I look forward to most is continuing to train alongside people who genuinely enjoy the process and want to get better. “Because summer’s coming.” Who at Prototype has made the biggest impact on you and why? As a dad of two young daughters, the people who’ve made the biggest impact on me at Prototype are the women in the gym. They all train with confidence, strength, consistency and set a powerful example. It’s the kind of environment I hope my daughters grow up seeing where strength is normal and earned. What are your hobbies and activities outside the gym? I dabble a bit in photography, star gazing and love to travel. Playing atrocious golf. How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? Prototype has helped me stay active. There’s a real sense of happiness and accomplishment after each workout, and that feeling has become addictive in the best way. Knowing I’ll leave class feeling stronger, physically and mentally, keeps me coming back. Prototype has turned working out from something I should do into something I genuinely want to do, which has made a huge difference in maintaining a sustainable fitness routine. What are your current fitness goals? Steady progress and longevity. If I can keep lifting, moving well, and feeling good years from now, I’ll consider that a win. I hope my future self will thank my present self. Favorite Quote If you can’t explain it simply you don't understand it well enough.
